Fr Angel Luciano, affectionately known as Father Angel, is the one and only Filipino priest in Singapore. His dedication, kindness and guidance gives us hope especially during this uncertain times. He is the usual "takbuhan" if we face loneliness and hopelessness. His humor especially during homily makes us feel at home again, as if we are back in the Philippines with our family and loved ones. Our Simbang Gabi will not be possible if not for Father. Thanks po! :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://reddotpinoys.blogspot.com/2009/01/father-angel-luciano.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="183" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q5O8iuD_b0U/TxZk1PeAkVI/AAAAAAAAAiI/C54AgClXS8o/s200/Father%2BAngel.jpg" title="Father Angel Luciano (middle)" width="200" /></a></div><br /><center><span style="font-size: 85%;">Father Angel Luciano (middle)</span></center><br />Father Angel hold his office at the <a href="http://www.veritas.org.sg/parish_detail.php?OrganisationID=8" target="_blank">Church of St. Michael</a> and he is also the Spirtual Director of <a href="http://www.catholic.org.sg/acmi/aboutus.html" target="_blank">ACMI</a> (Archdiocesan Commision for the Pastoral Care of Migrants &amp; Itinerant People).

All I can say is.....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 180%;">He gave the best solo performance of the night!</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 180%;"><span style="font-size: 78%;"></span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://reddotpinoys.blogspot.com/search/label/Robert%20Sunga" target="_blank"><img height="200" src="http://livethedream.mediacorptv.sg/images/themes/rock/recapssubrock_robert.jpg" /></a></div>I was so excited that I immediately voted for him even before the line was opened! So atat!<br /><br />The 3 stooges (l-r: Andrea Fonseka, Utt, &amp; Michelle Chia) <img border="0" src="http://livethedream.mediacorptv.sg/images/pics/05_15/p8.jpg" width="200" />teased him about his goatee! BTW, do you notice how tall Andrea is? Utt and Michelle look like midgets when they stand next to her!<br /><br />Robert sang <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__FB3OPNhh8" target="_blank">Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe".</a> I tried to note all the comments from judges:<br /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 180%;">*</span> Dick Lee: <span style="color: #3333ff; font-style: italic;">"...Best performance of the night..."</span><br /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 180%;">*</span> Guest judge John (was not able to get his complete name, he said he's half-Filipino): <span style="color: #3333ff; font-style: italic;">"...Great singer...

Duh? <span style="color: #3333ff; font-style: italic;">"...You're still very forgettable... Too cover-version like...Need to have an identity..."</span><br /><br />Definitely he has a great voice and I hope next time, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariah_carey#Voice" target="_blank"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Mariah Carey singing"</span></a> will be limited especially if it does not really fit the song. I guess he just tried to put his own touch. So give kudos to him for this effort. Actually, very few people, especially males, can sing in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistle_register" target="_blank">whistle register</a>. So this is really really an ASSET and I think it must be limited.

His surname is Chinese yet I knew instantly na Filipino sya.<br />Why nga ba ganoon that we can easily spot a Filipino in a crowd? Anyway, that's another topic to blog about! hehehe<br /><br />Timothy is a Canadian-Filipino-Chinese and has been a news anchor, host, presenter and producer for Channel NewsAsia since 2001.<br /><br />Current TV shows:<br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> World Today<br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> Asia Today<br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> <a href="http://www.channelnewsasia.com/thatsit/thatstim.htm" target="_blank">That's IT</a><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HMW5KhP_0Zc"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HMW5KhP_0Zc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />He, who calls the world ''his home'', is no stranger to a nomadic lifestyle. He finished high school in Manila then went to Vancouver to take Broadcast Communications and Journalism at Simon Fraser University and British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Later, got his first job in Canada, then moved to Washington DC, then Hong Kong, now finally, in Singapore.<br /><br />Now, I've been wondering why Tim was replaced in that morning show... I really think he was better than the guy that replaced him. His personality gave that much needed life for a early morning show to keep viewers from going back to their beds. <a href="http://tim-gogoblog.livejournal.com/546.html" target="_blank">Today newspaper</a> even noticed his heavy and expressive brows.<br /><br />More links about Timothy:<br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> <a href="http://tim-gogoblog.livejournal.com/" target="_blank">His blog</a><br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> <a href="http://tim-gogoblog.livejournal.com/18074.html" target="_blank">Wearing a barong Tagalog!</a><br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> <a href="http://asia.groups.yahoo.com/group/timothygo/" target="_blank">Timothy's Fanclub</a><br /><span style="color: red; font-size: 180%;">*</span> <a href="http://www.geocities.com/timothywgo/" target="_blank">Unofficial website</a>Red Dot Pinoyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398726467570084930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036165274963535986.post-28058622515729298762007-09-02T12:49:00.001+08:002012-01-27T12:55:58.682+08:00What do you think of Robert's singing?Finally, I discovered a video of Robert Sunga in Live the Dream<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gCHVQ_Mxh9k"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gCHVQ_Mxh9k" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />What do you think guys?
